Dislike the "Forum Games" section?

due to a glitch the filter's been disabled i think.

Okay I'll try and figure out why some people can, and some people can't see the threads while in the group.

It's very strange indeed

I imagine this is more of a feature request for the people who wrote SMF, but it'd be awesome if you could just set certain forums that you don't care about to "ignore" or "automatically mark as read" and have them not show the new messages icon or show up in your most recent posts.

Will it stop nine pages of spam showing up in the recent posts listing per day, pushing anything I actually give a damn about off the page? If so, count me in.

Selkit

...Okay, yeah. The *ENTIRE* recent posts list has been completely scrolled through overnight by inane "forum games" spam. Please, *PLEASE* find some way to filter this crap out of the "recent posts" listing, if one doesn't already exist. If it does exist, please apply it with extreme prejudice.

If the opt out is still available I would like to have it applied to me as well.

I don't really much care about the games section, to be honest, so whether or not they're gone makes no difference to me.
I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no way paper can beat rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around rock, leaving it immobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody; a rock would tear it up in two seconds. When I play Rock-Paper-Scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist, and say, "Oh sorry, I thought paper would protect you."

Hmm, unfortunately you're in two groups (fursuit + opt-out), and permissions are overlapping.  In order to fix it I'll have to go through all 600+ profiles and tick a little box, will have to see if I can automate it.

Maybe we could make the Fursuit group not give access to the Forum Games. Then give the people in the Fursuit group who haven't opted out, access to the Forum Games by another group. Then we would only have to update the people in the Fursuit group at most. Or maybe you're already ahead of me and thinking of something else.

Well, either I just fixed it, or I broke things for a lot of people all at once!

Masozi

I don't know if its working for me yet as I am still seeing some F.G. posts pop up whenever I hit the "show new posts since last visit" thing.

You guys are doing a pretty good job at running the board though, keep it up!

It should take effect immediately. Maaaybe you need to log out and then back in again.

I'd like out of the "forum games" as well, please.
